Adams & Co. has signed a 21,000 s/f lease with one of the fastest-growing brands in the housewares industry.
Core Homes – a company that designs and manufactures sustainable houseware products ranging from hip flasks to kitchen utensils – will occupy the entire fourth and fifth floors at 42 West 39th Street in the Garment District.

David Levy and Brett Maslin of Adams & Co. represented the landlord, 42-52 West 39th Street LLC, while Michael Beyda of Benchmark Properties represented the tenant in the transaction. The asking rent was $44 per square foot.
“Adams has a terrific reputation for operating its buildings and the tenant saw an opportunity to make a long-term home at the property,” said Beyda.
“Core Home recognized that the Transit Triangle’s convenient, central location continued to be the ideal place for its headquarters; the neighborhood is easily accessible for Core Home’s employees and its brand’s retailers,” added Levy, a principal at Adams & Co.
“Additionally, with 42 West 39th Street’s renovated lobby and large new windows, the property capitalizes on its modern aesthetic and updated building systems to capture and retain large, well-known tenants like Bluefly and Castlewood Apparel.”
